It's just a good component of a defense in depth approach. Where it's bad is when it's the only defense. Putting a sensitive server behind port knocking will cut down on 99.99999% of random internet IPs spraying attacks at it

I'm in the second camp. Part of it's that the whole point of going into this industry is that I love coding and have been doing it since I was 8. Part of it is that I'm a control freak and it makes me uncomfortable to have to

Well it self selected for left wing ones. My point is normal people who aren't extremely online and part of 10 Discord servers with an internet friend network who can hook them up with an invite didn't get into Bluesky. Instead th

It's confusing because "message" is not using its lay meaning, and decades of "medium" and "media" meaning drift meant that it isn't either. For "the medium is the message", "medium&quo

Bluesky is political because their invite-only on-boarding process for months meant that only really tight knit subgroups and subcultures found their way in. By the time your average person who just wanted to stop seeing ads about Great Rep

>the medium is the message If you asked 100 Americans what this aphorism means, I strongly doubt a single one could capture McLuhan's original meaning.

Yeah I had to deal with mine warning me that a website it accessed for its task contained a prompt injection, and when I told it to elaborate, the "injected prompt" turned out to be one its own <system-reminder> message bloc

He would certainly reply that his paintings weren't valued so highly for their functional purpose before. If AI art doesn't impinge on your friend's business, it's because he was selling art for art's sake rather th

This works well if you equivocate the word "conservative" as "opposing technology". Otherwise, it's just a specious and bad faith attempt at an own.

Key there is future. I don't think he ever claimed such an automated communist utopia was the immediate progression after capitalism. >The fact that modern leftists are (often) anti-technology is puzzling. Not puzzling at all when t

If AI cuts the time it takes to get an acceptable result for him by half, will he also cut his rates by half?

I would argue that if you've just watched videos about building computers and haven't sat down and done one yourself, then yeah I don't see any evidence that you've learned how to build a computer.

In my experience, the people sending me garbage PRs with Claude are the same ones who wrote garbage code beforehand. Now there's just 10x more of it.
